I think that there should be more frequently scheduled services during the summer months. Restrooms and trash pick-up were every other day, causing a huge amount of trash piled on top of and around the dumpsters, which bears got into. This is detrimental to the bears! Restrooms were dirty and out of tp after first day, and we were the only ones wearing masks into buildings. Have never seen it so crowded. Social distancing away from campsite was difficult, as people along the trails and at the lake were oblivious. Camping is usually a time to relax, not so much this time.

Restrooms were gross. The toilet paper was out all week and there was no cleaning during the week. There are too many people at the campground to only service the bathrooms once a week

My favorite place to camp so far. The view of the lake every morning, along with the wild life (ducks and geese), was amazing. Peaceful and quiet. Nice to have flushable toilets. The addition of bear boxes is comforting. Great kayaking & paddle boarding opportunity, and the nearby boat ramp and Blue Water Beach are nice as well.
